|  B2 — Deflationary Economy with Token Burn B2 — Deflationary Economy with Token Burn - In case you missed it, the mainnet launch is projected to take place in April this year. This means there is still time for tweaking and experimenting on B2 Testnet. — $MATTER Burn🔥. — As many of you might’ve already noticed, the gas fees on B2 are being consistently burned, a similar mechanism to what we see on the Ethereum mainnet with the addition of EIP-1559 to the protocol. The burning of $MATTER leads to a reduction of the supply, thus increasing the scarcity and value of the remaining tokens. Over the next few months, until the mainnet launch in April, the focus will be on further refining and testing this contraction economy experiment. We are looking to build applications that encourage $MATTER burn and modify existing applications to do the same. The goal is to ensure that the network is ready for launch and that users can start taking advantage of the benefits of $MATTER burn. Finally, by encouraging the creation of new and innovative applications that are related to burning $MATTER, the network will become more dynamic and versatile, leading to greater adoption and usage. This, in turn, will help to increase efficiency and reduce congestion as the network continues to grow and evolve. — Get Involved. — If you believe that you have an idea that fits the above criteria, please let us know in our forum 🔗forum.antimatter.finance.

 | Why Inflation Could Matter More than the SEC or the Halving to Bitcoin's...
Inflation slowed in October but still came in hot at 3.2%. At the November FOMC meeting, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the central bank's fight against inflation is far from over.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Labor's Consumer Price Index print for November rose 3.2% for the trailing 12-month period when seasonally adjusted.
Not seasonally adjusted, the CPI carried over from October unchanged.
Sticky Inflation: A Bitcoin Price Tailwind
The slight cooldown in consumer prices could give Bitcoin a lift after a week that's seeing a slowdown in corporate and large investor demand.
Cooling inflation could bolster Bitcoin in the short term because some market participants may be willing to go more risk-on.
But in the long run, the faster the U.S. dollar supply grows, the more dollars Bitcoin's limited supply can command at an exchange. That's one of the features built into the deflationary blockchain currency by design.
Since its inception, Bitcoin has been a strong hedge for central bank currency inflation. A Jefferies analyst recently noted that Bitcoin is a 'critical hedge' against currency debasement.
So, for close watchers of Bitcoin's price on crypto exchange markets, the rate of U.S. dollar inflation is critical to keep in view.
Fed Fixing to Cut Rates, Boost Inflation
Fed watchers are expecting the central bank to pivot hard next year from the current hawkish interest rate regime. Lower interest rates would help soften the landing for GDP, which appears headed for a reces...

|  | Expert Market Analysts Agree A Spot Bitcoin ETF Is A Matter Of When, Not...
The crypto community has been kept at the edge of its seat as the SEC decided to postpone a decision on the 7 Spot Bitcoin ETFs filed over the last few months. During such a pensive time, market analysts have predicted the SEC authorizing a Spot Bitcoin ETF while the former SEC Chairman foresees a losing battle for the regulator.
JP Morgan Analysts Foresee ETFs Approval
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Grayscale, an American digital currency investing and crypto asset management company have been embroiled in a legal battle since June 2022.
The SEC had previously rejected Grayscale’s request to convert its GBTC vehicle to an ETF. The digital currency investment company had responded to the rejection with a lawsuit, suing the SEC and filing a petition for a review by the United States Court of Appeal for the District of Columbia Circuit.
The legal proceedings have not been favorable with the SEC, and analysts led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou from JP Morgan, a New York-based universal bank have predicted the eventual acceptance of Bitcoin ETF applications by the SEC.
The prediction is also largely supported by Grayscale’s victory against the SEC in a recent court ruling that classified the SEC’s denial of Bitcoin ETF applications as unreasonable and without substance, mandating the SEC to reevaluate its decision to deny Grayscale’s Bitcoin ETF application.
While the SEC deliberates on its next move, th...

|  | Matter Labs Refutes Plagiarizing Code Amidst Ongoing Spat With Polygon
zkSync creator and Matter Labs CEO Alex Gluchowski refuted allegations of plagiarizing code without appropriately crediting zero-knowledge scaling firm Polygon Zero. Gluchowski called the accusations 'unfounded, misleading, and extremely disappointing' from a team the exec 'highly respects.'
The comments are in response to Polygon Zero's lengthy blog post accusing the developers of Matter Labs of copy-pasting 'a substantial amount of source code' from performance-critical components of the Plonky2 library.
Matter Labs' Feud With Polygon Zero
Polygon claimed that Matter Labs' recent release, Boojum, integrated certain code from Plonky2, a zero-knowledge technology created by Polygon. While the Plonky2 platform is open-source, Polygon raised concerns about Matter Labs' failure to include the code in Boojum without original copyrights or clear attribution to the original authors.
In addition to the 'directly copied code,' Polygon claimed that Boojum is extremely similar to Plonky2, highlighting the use of the same strategy of parallel repetition to foster soundness in a small field, similar custom gates to efficiently arithmetic recursive verification, as well as the same lookup argument developed by the scaling firm's teammate Ulrich Haböck.
'To add insult to injury, the founder of Matter Labs claimed that Boojum is more than 10x faster than Plonky2. Wondering how this is possible, given that the performance-critical field arithmetic code is directly copied from Plonky2? Y...

Ripple Labs' chief legal officer has broken down Thursday's ruling on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) v. Ripple case. Emphasizing that the landmark ruling is 'a huge win' for the crypto firm, he stressed that 'as a matter of law – XRP is not a security.' In addition, he noted that crypto sales on exchanges are also not securities.Ripple Lawyer on SEC v Ripple Case Ruling
Ripple Labs' chief legal officer, Stuart Alderoty, explained the ruling in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) v. Ripple case in a series of tweets on Thursday. The lawyer wrote:
A huge win today - as a matter of law - XRP is not a security. Also a matter of law - sales on exchanges are not securities. Sales by executives are not securities. Other XRP distributions - to developers, to charities, to employees are not securities.
'The only thing the court found constitutes an investment contract is past direct XRP sales to institutional clients. There will be further court proceedings only on these institutional sales per the court's order,' Alderoty added. The Ripple chief legal officer stressed:
The judge's decision affirms so much of what this industry is fighting for, and shows that the SEC does not have unbounded jurisdiction over crypto … Maybe we can now start a rational conversation about crypto regulation in this country.
In a statement to Fox Business regarding the ruling, the SEC wrote: 'We are pleased that the court found that XRP tokens were offered and...

|  | Bitcoin Wins No Matter What the Fed Does: Arthur Hayes
Will the Federal Reserve stop raising interest rates next month? For Bitcoin investors, the answer may not actually matter.
According to BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes, Bitcoin’s price and inflation will rise in tandem precisely because of hawkish central bank policy – contrary to what modern monetary theory would suggest.
How Rising Rates Will Increase Inflation
In a Thursday blog post titled “Patience is Beautiful,” Hayes outlined why the economy’s ever-expanding debt-to-GDP ratio will cause traditional economic “laws” to “break down.” This includes the idea that rising interest rates cause the money supply and inflation to fall. He writes:
“Regardless of which path the Fed chooses, be it to hike or cut rates, they will accelerate inflation and catalyze a general rush for the exits from the parasitic fiat monetary financial system.”
Data from US Debt Clock shows that the United States government is currently $31.8 trillion in debt. That’s a far cry from the nation’s $26.4 trillion GDP and its relatively meager $4.6 trillion yearly tax revenue.
President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy recently unveiled a draft bill to avert an incoming debt crisis after the nation reached its $31.4 trillion debt limit in January. The deal would suspend the debt ceiling entirely until 2025, but require a number of cost-cutting measures to ensure it doesn’t spiral out of hand until...

The Blur non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace launched its native token this week, and users who were awarded token allotments received 'care packages.' Blur tokens began trading at noon on Feb. 14, reaching a high of $5.02 per token. However, the coin has since dropped more than 85% against the U.S. dollar.BLUR Token Launch Records an 85% Drop on Its First Day of Trading
On Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2023, which is Valentine's Day, the NFT marketplace Blur announced the launch of its token and airdrop. Blur gave away 'care packages' to users who conducted trades on a competing NFT market, listed NFTs on the Blur marketplace, and those who participated in Blur market bidding, according to the allotment cycles.
'It's time for BLUR,' the market tweeted the day prior. 'Care Packages can be opened on Feb 14 at 12PM EST, 1AM HKG, 6PM CET. Make sure the launch announcement comes from our official Blur.io account tomorrow and double check all URLs before claiming.'

|  | The Race for Bitcoin Is A Matter of National Security (Opinion)
Financial markets for everything, including crypto, remain on pause as we mark off the first week of 2023. At this time of global economic uncertainty, people are holding their cash close. Here's why it'll be increasingly important for governments to hold their Bitcoin close.
Bitcoin's price barely budged after the release of the latest jobs report. It moved less than a percent, holding above $16,900 as the job data suggested more rate hikes.
Bitcoin Is Poised To Become The World's 'Primary Monetary Good'
Let's set aside investors' woes over the crypto price winter for a moment and consider the reality of Bitcoin in 2023. People used to question whether the cryptocurrency was even here to stay. Now, successful investors and even banking giants have acknowledged its merits.
Fidelity Investments not only considers Bitcoin a more secure and resilient cryptocurrency than most of its peers, but its report states the bank's opinion that BTC has the characteristics and positioning to become the world's 'primary monetary good.'
Not only is Bitcoin here to stay, but it will underpin more global reserves as the decade goes on. That poses serious concerns and opportunities for U.S. national security and for that of all major world powers in the international hegemony.
National Security Stake in Joining The Bitcoin Race
We're near an important inflection point in Bitcoin's history. 14 years into the grand experiment, it is now understood by technical professionals and industry investors ...

|  | Terra Reacts To Case Against Do Kwon, Claims Matter Is Highly Politicize...
The collapse of the algorithmic stablecoin Terra and its native token LUNA remained a shocking event in the crypto space. The outcome was the loss of billions of dollars for many individual and institutional investors. It also threw the entire crypto industry into a historic crisis. Lots of changes have taken place following the fall of the stablecoin.
Subsequently, some investigations and legal cases have been against the founder of Terraform Labs, Do Kwon. Firstly, the South Korean Prosecutors leveled some allegations against the Terra Chief.
Also, the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) issued a Red Notice against him. The Interpol request is for law enforcement's immediate arrest of Do Kwon globally.
There was a massive loss of over $60 billion of investors’ funds through the fall of Terra and its ecosystem in the first half of the year. The South Korean Prosecutors requested the assistance of Interpol for the arrest of Kwon.
The prosecutors accused the Terra chief of hiding to avoid their investigations. According to a source, Kwon was seen in Singapore, though the city police noted that he later left.
Terra Says Case Against Kwon Is Highly Hyped Up
Following the alert from Interpol, there was a slight fall in the prices of Terra Classic (LUNC) and the newly launched Terra LUNA. Some rumors have been that Kwon went into hiding since the collapse of Terra and its ecosystem.

Thailand's securities regulator recently said it had referred digital asset service provider Zipmex and its Thai unit chief executive officer, Akalarp Yimwilai, to a technology crime division of the Royal Thai Police. The regulator said it made decision after Yimwilai and his company failed to comply with the request to furnish an official with information relating to customers' digital wallets.Zipmex Fails to Share Details on Transfers and Withdrawals on Its Platform
Thailand's Securities and Exchange Commission (TSEC) said it has referred Zipmex and the digital asset service provider's Thai unit chief executive officer (CEO) Akalarp Yimwilai to local law enforcement for non-compliance 'with the order of the competent official.' In a statement, the regulator said it took action after Yimwilai and his company failed to submit information relating to customers' digital wallets.
Zipmex is also accused of failing to furnish the TSEC official with details on the transfer and withdrawal of digital assets via its platform. The announcement by the TSEC came on the same day that Zipmex told its customers that it had temporarily suspended baht and cryptocurrency withdrawals.
In its message to customers, Zipmex reportedly claimed the crypto market volatility, as well as problems with major trading partners, had prompted the suspension of withdrawals.
According to a report in The Nation Thailand, Zipmex's suspension of withdrawals drew an angry response from customers. The report added ...

The cryptocurrency Winter is (NOT) here to stay.
If the media was any indicator of the current state of the cryptocurrency industry, one would think it was time to 'pack up' and find a new technology to invest both time and money into. It is true that the cryptocurrency industry is currently experiencing another so called 'cryptocurrency winter' and while numerous references may be cited to support that, it is also true that this is not the first nor the worst one. In fact, well supported and funded projects are thriving and now is the perfect time to develop them further.
The team behind XTRA.FUND also believes that as well. The platform has been fully functional and live since December 2021, and it is also looking to solve the challenges that not only plagued the cryptocurrency industry since its inception, but will now be an even more predominant topic: making cryptocurrency safe, secure and rewarding at the same time, enough to make it a viable alternative to traditional investments. XTRA.FUND not only believes it can deliver, but is on a mission to convince the world of that as well.
The way it offers that is with the following set of features:
Sometimes it just takes a bit of XTRA PROTECTION
The cryptocurrency industry is limited in terms of the types of protection it can offer, and with regulation in most parts of the world not around, it is no wonder that people are still hesitant. Companies have offered solutions much like Binance with its SAFU, but the user needs to...

|  | Ferrum Network integrating Matter Labs' zkSync into its ecosystem,...
Ferrum Network, a cross-blockchain service company & ecosystem, has now announced it will integrate the zkSync layer-2 scaling solution into its suite of products. This synergy comes following Ferrum's participation in the Series B round for Matter Labs, creator of zkSync.
zkSync is a user-centric zero-knowledge (ZK)-rollup platform for Ethereum and is live on the mainnet.
Recent funding into layer-2 scaling provider Matter Labs came from Ferrum Network's investment arm, Ferrum Ventures. Matter Labs and their ZK-rollup system — zkSync — will now be integrated into Ferrum Network's products and ecosystem.
Matter Labs / zkSync
Matter Labs is a pioneer of zero-knowledge rollups. The organization launched the first-ever public ZK-rollup prototype in early 2019, was the first to implement recursive ZK proofs on Ethereum, and created the world’s first practical FPGA-based hardware for ZKP acceleration in 2020.
Recently, Matter Labs announced the first EVM-compatible ZK-rollup on Ethereum’s public testnet, allowing developers to deploy existing Solidity applications to a highly scalable, low-cost environment without sacrificing the security or decentralization provided by Ethereum.
“When you really think about it, most of us in this space are here because of Ethereum. Ferrum’s mission has always been to breakdown barriers to mass adoption… and scaling Ethereum is one of the most important milestones in doing so. I...

|  | Joe Biden To Push For Crypto Regulations as a Matter of National Securit...
Joe Biden's administration wants to clarify once and for all the regulatory landscape surrounding the crypto sphere —taking the opportunity to exert greater control over the industry.
Apparently, within the next few weeks, it is expected that the White House will issue an executive order declaring the regulation of cryptocurrencies as a matter of national security - which would raise the priority level that different federal agencies would have to assign to their efforts to monitor the crypto ecosystem.
A Holistic Vision
According to a report by Barron's, the national security memorandum would essentially seek to achieve coordination among all branches of the government so as to distinguish and limit the competencies of each of the entities involved.
Currently, there are conflicting opinions on several aspects inherent to the cryptocurrency industry and the use of cryptocurrencies in transactions. The IRS, CFTC, SEC, and OCC have issued numerous statements affecting the crypto industry. On several occasions, even law enforcement agencies have worked separately on very similar agendas - such as trying to crack privacy cryptocurrencies.
An anonymous source told Barron's that Biden and his advisers want to achieve the unity of thought that previous administrations had failed to accomplish:
'This is designed to look holistically at digital assets and develop a set of policies that give coherency to what the government is trying to do in this space,'
